ELECTROACOUSTIC TRANSDUCER AND AUDIO DEVICE

To provide an electroacoustic transducer and an audio device that are inconspicuous even when worn on ears, do not cause problems due to clogging of earwax, etc., and can also listen to a surrounding sound while listening to a generated sound.SOLUTION: An electroacoustic transducer 2 according to the present invention includes an electromechanical converter 7 that converts an electric signal into mechanical vibration, and a housing 4 that houses the electromechanical transducer 7 inside and generates sound by vibrating with mechanical vibration by the electromechanical transducer 7, and is used so as to be inserted into an ear canal.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】耳に装着していても目立ち難いうえに耳垢等の詰まりによる不具合も生じることがなく、また、発生させた音を聴取しながら周囲の音を聴くことも可能な電気音響変換器及び音響機器を提供する。【解決手段】本発明の電気音響変換器２は、電気信号を機械振動に変換する電気機械変換器７と、電気機械変換器７を内部に収容し電気機械変換器７による機械振動によって振動して音を発生させ、外耳道内に挿入して使用される筐体４と、を備えることを特徴とする。【選択図】図１
